DirectX Error - Shader Model 2.0

I haven't been having any problems until this lastest patch (the one that introduced Vayne) - Ever since then i've been getting errors every single time that I start a game, or effectively when the loading screen comes up. It always gives me the message "An unknown DirectX error has occured... Does not support shader models 2.0..."

Heres my DxDiag file ;

^ I cant link it via attachment due to it saying it's too large of a file. I know that my DirectX is out of date, mine is version 9.0c currently, but every time I try and download a newer version of it, the downloader states that the current version is the newest or doesn't need redownloading and closes itself. I've also got the newest version of .Net Framework.

same problem here and i have it since the patch before vayne,the first one,i did numerous bumps and post for this and still waiting

Im getting tired really,i know its free but there is a time and a limit for this,cause its hundreds of posts about the same thing cause its impossible not seeing that this is a real problem, and it afects thousands of people,im really tired of waiting,im more decided to uninstall than continue waiting to play one more time. And yes i usually pay for some things,so its a less costumer for riot if this continues

I get this error when i have another game like fear etc. open at the same time(waiting for friends is boring) and that error comes. When i close the game LoL doesnt get the error anymore. I've had this error quite a few times.
